Sings4Speedway 3,246 Posted September 30, 2017 Good job by the hammers and cracking debut from Edwards. Only odd decision of the night was to not switch him into heat 8 as there could have been even more points there. I actually fear the extra point or two he could have got there may be the difference in the overall result 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waco 1,026 Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) If Bewley and Smith are indeed missing in the return match the whole thing could boil down to the guests on both teams....farcical !!!! Edited September 30, 2017 by waco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tocha 306 Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) If Bewley and Smith are indeed missing in the return match the whole thing could boil down to the guests on both teams....farcical !!!! Well how about this? Guest needed for Alfie as Glasgow's opponents are Newcastle whilst a guest required for either Glasgow or Somerset in place of Richard Lawson. In all this, why an earth are Glasgow riding on a Friday anyway?! Edited October 1, 2017 by tocha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daytripper 1,123 Posted October 2, 2017 Good old Buster Chapman . What happened to his promise to sort all this out ?  In other news Max Clegg has tweeted thanking Lakeside for inviting him to guest on Friday and said he lives the track. The Lakeside track bets a bit of a bad press at times from some quarters, usually those that have never sat on a Speedwáy bike in their lives, but since Ken Driscoll has been doing the track a lot visitors have been tweeting how much they enjoyed it.

waco 1,026 Posted October 2, 2017 The track staff do a brilliant job ,far better than previous years, .....All these riders missing in the play offs makes a mockery of the sport,,, the idiots running it must sort the doubling up problems out next season,or more fans will drift away ..

cityrebel 2,960 Posted October 2, 2017 The whole show has been good at lakeside this season. The meetings have generally been well run, the track has been good, so has the racing. It's just a shame that most fans have voted with their feet, without giving it a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryce 349 Posted October 2, 2017 Bowtell missing is a big issue for the Hammers. A massive issue. I'd go so far as to say it could cost us any chance of an aggregate win. Â I do not begrudge Alfie the opportunity to race at a higher level, but surely it's a nonsense that he is going to miss our most important match of the season to race in a meeting that with all due respect he's going to make minimal difference to.

mikec 412 Posted October 2, 2017 Great news that Dan Bewley & Jack Smith are available for the Colts on Friday night at BV. Should be some great racing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucifer sam 3,953 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Great news that Dan Bewley & Jack Smith are available for the Colts on Friday night at BV. Should be some great racing! Â No, they won't be: Â 19.9.3 Where a rider is additionally declared in a SGB Premiership or Championship League team, the SGB Premiership or Championship League Team shall have priority, except that a rider nominated for the NDLRC must appear in the NDLRC. Â Unless it's the NDLRC at the NSS on Friday, then they ride for Glasgow on Friday. Â All the best Rob Edited October 2, 2017 by lucifer sam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Islander15 1,062 Posted October 2, 2017 Oh yes they will 😉 the manager committee have ruled that theyll ride for BV, not Glasgow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teaboy279 1,038 Posted October 2, 2017 Same with Hopwood for kent, so it's fair to assume Bowtell will be granted same courtesy too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,062 Posted October 2, 2017 Same with Hopwood for kent, so it's fair to assume Bowtell will be granted same courtesy too. He should be else its unfair. But Colts fans could say the same about themselves (Shuttleworth anyway) on Friday just gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
